      Pros

      - A lot of friendly people who are motivated and willing to help - Reasonable flexibility - Free training sessions - Free certification opportunities - Good amount of vacation days - Lateral transition opportunities

      Cons

      I'm sure there are some I can think of, but I believe the pros outweigh whatever cons there are.

            Business Outlook

            Pros

            My time there started out well as I was left to be able to do my work as I saw was best, which I did just fine doing. I received very reasonable pay and benefits. I did learn alot and the position help improve my abilities and self esteem.

            Cons

            As the company expanded into my area they grew much more Nit Picky and controlling about how I do my job. It was very upsetting and stressful. The people in my office were not overly pleasant to be around either. I was forced to come into the office half time after being 100% productive and efficient being exclusively from home for over 2 years due to Covid. Supervisor was reasonable, but hands were tied on many things. I also struggled to be able to access my find pay stub, something that should be automatically mailed with any pay day that takes place after my last day on the job.

              Business Outlook

              Pros

              Since joining Boston Scientific over two years ago as a data scientist, I've been continually pleasantly surprised by the culture: at every turn my ideas are heard; innovation is encouraged, appreciated, and supported; employees can bring their full selves; and the sense and presence of community is real. I'm truly excited for this company's future, and for my career at Boston Scientific.

              Cons

              Boston Scientific is large company, and change can be slow. In addition, this size and the general structure that has resulted from growth through acquisitions means that silos can abound. It takes a willingness to reach out to others, effort to spread ideas, and engagement of the rich communities of practice and employee resource groups to drive important change. Fortunately, the company culture is such that when you do this, you will be heard, and you will be empowered to continue.

                  Pros

                  Boston treats you so well, really promotes internally and wants you to succeed.

                  Cons

                  You are the primary driver of any and all success- you need to problem solve and everything is up to you.

                    Business Outlook

                    Pros

                    The timeliness were reasonable and there were plenty of resources available to make projects go smoothly for an intern/co-op who might need a little more help. The people who work here are kind and understanding. You basically get treated like an entry level engineer, which means you will be given actual work that impacts the company and helps the team you are assigned to instead of being given busy work for 6 months

                    Cons

                    You might get thrown into the deep end a bit, which can be intimidating and paralyzing if you've been more academic and less hands-on with your learning experience before starting here, but I guess that goes for most first internships/jobs. The pay is not very good ($27/hr) considering they expect you to do the work of an entry level engineer as an intern/co-op.

                      Cons

                      Management is not allowed to provide verbal references to potential employers of x-employees. Many internal roles but do not fill with available good internal candidates. Does not respect christian religious beliefs of employees . Run like a big company with bureaucratic cons related to it.

                      Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
